Democrats passed Biden's stimulus law without GOP votes. Here's why they can't do the same to bring back Roe v. Wade.

A decision that guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion nationwide was overturned by the Supreme Court.

Democrats don't have many options to restore those protections. While negotiations are underway to save President Joe Biden's economic agenda, they risk setting off a confrontation with Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sen.

The pair of centrists are not going to back down in their promise to preserve the 60 vote threshold in the Senate. That has prompted at least one House Democrat to suggest using another legislative tactic like the one Biden used to get his bill passed.

Republican senators have a bill codifying abortion. Sen. Manchin said that he would support it. We should use a procedural maneuver to bring it to the floor.

Budget reconciliation is a legislative maneuver that allows Democrats to sidestep GOP resistance and approve legislation with a simple majority vote. The tactic was used twice last year to pass theStimulus package and the House-approvedBuild Back Better bill.

There are a lot of rules that limit what can be passed in a reconciliation bill only to measures that affect the federal budget. An effort to get abortion protections in reconciliation would be disqualified by the Senate parliamentarian.

The director of the economic program at the Third Way think tank told Insider that re-codifying Roe wouldn't be a budget item.

The parliamentarian's decision can be overruled, but only if all 50 Democrats support it. He said that blowing up the filibuster would be a result of overruling the lawmaker.

Manchin and Sinema don't seem to want to support a back door approach to revive abortion. They weren't sure if they were prepared to bring back the abortion law through Congress.

Manchin supports legislation that would codify the rights of abortion. I am hopeful that Democrats and Republicans will come together to pass a piece of legislation that will do that.

The Supreme Court ruling doesn't reflect the views of the American public according to Biden.

The president said on Friday that the Supreme Court's conservative majority shows how extreme it is. This is not the final word.
